I was planning on using the break in
continuity to change something.
Usually, during the Blue Belt class I
work with whoever indicates they want me as their partner. For
whatever reason I am never without a partner. Although I'm one of the
bigger people in the class it seems the smaller people want to train
with me. I don't exactly know why. Maybe I'm gentle, or maybe I focus
on what my partner needs. Maybe more so than the other big people. I
really have no idea why.
The only down side for me is that I
almost always work with the smaller folks. I only very rarely get to
work with the big guys. I need to work with them more than I do.
So I was planning to start preemptive
partner picking; to sometimes grab a big guy before a small person
can get me. Not always. I like working with everybody, but need both
sides of the size spectrum.
Didn't get to carry out my plan last
night. At the very first partnering opportunity, Rob immediately
grabbed my shoulder. He's not a little guy, and is bloody strong. At
the second partnering, Ryan quickly fired a full-arm point at me.
He's the biggest strongest guy we've got. It was for a
strength-and-size-dependant move. Perfect.
This was already more big-guy work in
one night than I'd been gotten in a long time. After that, I ended up
getting grabbed by Elizabeth, and then snatched by Tahwa. They were
the two smallest present in the group.
A perfect mix.
I didn't have to do anything
different.
